The Luddites dilemma is that every evil that new technology enables is already illegal, and the powerful people in charge are choosing to allow it.
Everything about AI is already illegal and people are choosing not to punish them for the crimes they commit using it.

The idea that soldiers have to disobey illegal orders has always been bullshit. It's like google's trust and safety committee. Sure, this one part is about doing what's right, but the entire rest of the military is dedicated to getting soldiers to obey orders immediately and without question.

I'm finally reading Dawn of Everything. I am loving the accounts of some of the first indigenous Americans meeting Europeans and being astonished at how shit the European society is.

I'm thinking about this in the context of payment processors cracking down on sex workers. It's always worth pointing out who payment processors have a problem with, and who they do not.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

This is outrageous. Danielle Smith is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person. Please sign the petition. It takes a few seconds.
Moments ago, Premier Danielle Smith's government made a terrifying decision and introduced legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of transgender young people in Alberta.
Now is the time to act. Visit www.stop-smith.ca to sign our petition denouncing this draconian erosion of freedom.

Every single time there was police reform in America. It was followed by an unending backlash that undid the progress that was made.
For the people asking me what I mean by "people over institutions" and "abolish the carceral state":
The American prison industrial complex is a for profit institution built on the systematic oppression and criminalization of racialized people. It should be eliminated.

Trump is so deranged. He spent months threatening to invade Canada, and it seems like it was because he didn't like the Prime Minister. I haven't heard a peep about it since Carney took office.

My most woke opinion is that we can give indigenous people their land back all of it. They're not going to try and get rid of all white people. We can actually work this out. It's going to be fine.
Also we should let criminals vote. What are we afraid of? That they'll vote to legalize crime?

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I'm going to have a hard time getting out of bed today and I have no buffer for emergencies. I'm well behind where I should be for the month and today I'm going to probably be hungry since between me and food is stairs, work, and the pain of every nerve acting in concert to hurt me.
Happy #MutualAid Monday everyone! It's once again time for a new post. We're over a week into November and I've raise $25 out of the $600 I need to pay my rent and make sure I can eat this month. Please help me!

It’s crazy how far the elites will go to protect their own. Trump was a reality tv host in 2008 and somehow was protected for his involvement with Epstein and his crimes.
Honestly I’d be surprised if there was an explanation for this.

A major feature of our society is that we know who the good guys and the bad guys are. The worst people take on the aesthetic of their enemies because everyone agrees that they're the bad guys.

This is so obviously a self-serving policy. It allows Bluesky to refuse to give any explanation to its users for why someone was banned. But if the media shows up, they'd love to have that conversation.
We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

So here's a totally-hypothetical-and-therefore-legal musing: It would certainly be something if it turned out that Epstein was the figurehead while Trump was the actual driving force behind the trafficking itself, going back to his years of experience using his own modelling agency.

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...
